“For us, blue represents more than a color. It stands for quality, precision, and authority. Not claimed, but earned through design, material choices, and use in real kitchens.
Behind Blue gives language to what lies beneath that blue: the thinking, the standards, and the decisions that determine why our products perform as they should, day after day.”
Blue is more than the color of our molds. It represents the quality beneath the surface.
We could make our molds in any color, but blue is a deliberate choice. Not for visibility, but for meaning. It reflects our focus on what lies behind the product, material decisions, precision, and performance that hold up in real kitchens.
Design always a choice. In fine dining, every shape carries intention. Simplicity is often the right answer, but never by default. Choosing a form requires the same deliberation as choosing a flavor. Design sits at the core of everything we do, translating ideas into functional tools shaped by context, use, and environment, not convenience.
Our reference point is reality.
We work closely with chefs, think like them, and test our tools where they are meant to perform: in professional kitchens. Products are validated through use, not visuals. We look beyond the mold itself — understanding what our clients aim to achieve, and taking responsibility for the technical execution.
Blue is never finished.
Techniques evolve, materials improve, and expectations shift — inside and outside our company. It is our responsibility to learn, adapt, and refine continuously. Whether the challenge is technical or logistical, we do not accept limitations simply because they are common practice. Improvement is an ongoing commitment.

Our webshop exists for a simple reason. We believe chefs should not have to custom-design a mold for every idea. Many shapes return, evolve, and find new meaning across dishes, menus, and kitchens. By making these forms directly available, the webshop gives chefs access to tools that support their work consistently, without dominating the plate.
It is a place where considered shapes become practical, ready to be used whenever creativity calls for them.
At the same time, some ideas need a shape of their own. Our custom work exists for dishes with a clear intent that cannot be translated through existing forms. We work closely with ambitious, curious makers, taking part in the creative process to understand the idea behind a dish, how it functions in service, and how material and shape interact.
As our technical knowledge continues to grow, so do the possibilities. So chefs can focus on creativity, while we take care of shape
